We Tried a Sunrise Ocean Cold Plunge Every Day for a Week 

16:39 made me tear up 🥹 something about sierra and kenzie being so tiny in front of the massive ocean while kenzie talked about how small and insignificant our body insecurity’s are in the grand scheme of things hit hard❤ i love this channel

Really loved your small talk about sharks and the fact that they're statistically less dangerous than things like car rides and strange men on the beach.

Next video, sunset swims! (Then you’ll get those beautiful colours you’re hoping for since y’all are West Coast girls!)

As someone who gets up at 5 and goes to bed at 9:30 every weekday it’s always wild to me when people do it one time and are shocked by how tired they are at 9pm 😂

My friend did this for 30days. It helped her quit smoking. It's so empowering. She also set up a mid winter swim in our community as a fundraiser for a charity and it was so fun doing it with heaps of people.

Love Kenzie's honest reflections about bathing suit worries and then overcoming that (so impressed!) so as not to miss out on things with your kids. And Sierra's defense of sharks! Love it, love the kindness in this video xx

I vote you guys try to continue this twice a month, as a mom I totally get sometimes things aren't feasible to add to your everyday life but i think it's nice to take a little time for you and the bestie. 😊

And then there’s girlies like me who have to wake up at 4 am occasionally and clock in for work and have to be “on” immediately, and stay up late to keep up with life and everything else 😅

I could relate to the shark talk. 🦈 As a solo traveler in the outdoors people often asked me if I was scared of wildlife and I was usually much more scared of encountering someone with nefarious intentions.

I love the juxtaposition between your experiences. I love how uniquely beautiful humans, even bestfriends, are😊 Fun video, ladies ❤

Kenzie has been kind of in the periphery of videos for so many years as the BFF. I LOVE getting to know her more and see her more now!! ❤❤

Sierra! I know this channel is more about lifestyle and fashion but I think it would be fun to see a challenge series of your team. Doing baking challenge like Nailed it or making cake of looking like random objects. Obstacle course challenge. Anything in fun and competitive!

what’s the point of a sunrise swim if you go to bed immediately afterwards

I don’t know who needs to hear this, but “wearing a bathing suit/bikini” and “missing out on good memories” are NOT the only two options. Just because society tells you that you need to wear a bikini/one piece to swim doesn’t mean you have to!! You could swear a swim skirt/dress. You could wear a tankini and shorts. You could wear a long sleeve swim shirt and swim leggings. There’s SO many choices and different coverage levels to make YOU feel comfortable and confident. You don’t have to “get over your insecurity and wear the swimsuit” if you don’t want to. Plus it takes time to work towards that. You can enjoy the beach/pool in whatever clothes that make you feel comfortable in this moment. You don’t have to wear something you’re not comfortable in just cause everyone else is. Remember that ❤️ (and same goes for men. My FIL always wear a long sleeve shirt to the beach cause he’s a derm and sees how often skin cancer kills people. If you’re uncomfortable not wearing a shirt, wear the shirt! Who cares what everyone else thinks! They don’t matter. Be true to you ❤)

silly goofiness in nature is the best kind of silly goofiness. i work at a nature center and love how much you guys appreciate the environment around you.

You girls are super blessed to live near the ocean and do this. I would soooo take advantage and do this everyday! It must have some really great health benefits! Take advantage!

My parents live on the beach on the east coast and when I visit them I always do one sunrise swim. It’s such a great way to start the day. Also, its so nice having the beach to yourself before the business of the day starts.

Honestly the drone footage absolutely made this video in my opinion! What a beautiful place you guys live near!!

I wake up everyday for work at 4:30am 😅 done at 3pm

I relate with Kenzie so much about the bathing suit. Ever since I had my first my relationship with my body and bathing suits has changed. I’m in Florida and used to spend so much time in the water (ocean, lake, pool, or springs). But in the last 3 years I’ve barley spent time in any of those. A big part of that is my own insecurity in a bathing suit. It’s such a good reminder that memories with my kids are more important than avoiding something that makes me insecure.

I'm so happy for Kenzie, hear her heal through these videos makes me tear up every time. You go girl ❤

A good reminder today how different everyone's schedules are. 5am is sleeping in for me. I start work at 7am every day and try to get a workout in before work too.

It would be awesome to make this a weekly thing! Breakfast on the beach after a sunrise swim looked amazing. I wish I lived closer to the beach 🥲 the closest one to me is the gross part of the Gulf of Mexico 🥴

Thank you so much for speaking on the issue of sharks. I've worked in ocean conservation for over a decade, and sharks are seriously misunderstood creatures. You're at greater risk standing next to a food vending machine and having it topple on top of you than getting bitten by a shark. It's a shame that the sensationalized media has caused people to fear them!

We love you kenzie! It is so amazing to see the growth and realizations of you and all the girls through these videos. I feel like you are all growing more confident in different ways and learning so much about yourselves

I was so excited for this video to come out after seeing all the vlogs, and It didn't disappoint, I loved it!

Maybe you all should just do a few days a month and continue your sunrise swims. Or maybe sunset ones!!! Thanks for sharing your experience

Video idea- you / or you and your crew sign up for a 5k and document that journey. I love watching that content so selfishly I’d love it. Also I found a goal around fitness but nothing to do with weight as a result or anything to be one thing to combat my bad thoughts. (Ie anytime I did a race or beat my time I felt amazing and it didn’t have anything to do with how I looked or anything like that)

"you can just be Kevin" the shadeee 😂

Omg I’ve been waiting for this video!!

Also you and Kenzie should make this a yearly tradition for a day or week!!

Aw Sierra, long time follower here from Ireland and loved this video so much!! I’ve been doing sunrise and sunset swims for the last few years in Ireland and a few tips for after the swim - fluffy socks, hot water bottles , a flask of tea and something sweet to nibble on, it really adds to the experience!! Xx

I like her just by herself and not with her friends

Love getting to see Stephan too. He seems like such a sweetheart 😊

What an incredible experience. And kenzie's truth about not wanting to miss out hit hard. Love this one ladies!

So excited to watch this! Love watching behind the seen stuff and then seeing final product. So nifty!

I’ve been waiting for this YAYAYY

So fun! Also love Kenzie’s comments that normalize body insecurities at ALL sizes. She and I are similar in size (i.e. considered “smaller” by society) and it’s hard for me to wear a bathing suit. Just love you both!!

I’m so excited for this video! I love that you all are including more of the schultzzie cinematic universe

The ocean is way warmer in HI and FL. Like >80 degrees. Downside is that it's like a bathtub when you want to cool off. It's pretty much only sustainable if the ocean is in your backyard and you don't have much to do in the morning.

I think it also depends on what kind of beach you live by! Cali water is soooo cold. Florida or Hawaii would be warmer water and probably more enjoyable in the morning for me personally. I say this as a SoCal girly too haha.

This is why I LOVE living on the east coast! Sunrise swimming in the ocean, is amazing!!

Kenzie doesn't realize how beautiful she is. Love you both 💖

Sierra, Idk if you'll see this, but I am so grateful for this video! I'm so grateful you've brought your main channel back and are doing videos like this, using a creative outlet to bring people ideas that can support them taking care of themselves, and inquiring about the questions of the world. It's almost like you've built your own little Getting Curious™ community like JVN. Thank you for reminding me that it's okay that the beach is healing for me, and for indirectly encouraging me to prioritize making my way out there as often as I can. 💙🌊

loved watching this from the comfort of my own home LOL! y'all are so cute ilyyyy

Honestly, as a Surf City CA local, I’m more afraid of the dolphins then sharks. This is so interesting, and definitely not something I would have ever considered. Thank you for sharing!

Hey Sierra! Just wanna say how much these types of videos inspired me. I actually got a standing desk and walking pad because of you (got the SAME walking pad you had loll) and it has changed my life. I work from home 3 days a week and I've been loving not being sat down all day hahaha! Also didn't expect I would use it in my free time! I move it to the living room all the time to walk while i watch something on TV. :) Sending so much love!

I’ve been waiting for this! I love this idea❤

Your hairstyle on Friday looks so cute on you!

i loved this omg you guys!!!

Moving from Oregon to Maine, I understand the sunrise on the beach love. I always loved evenings on the beach but now I wake up at 5:00 occasionally just to see the sunrise.

Loving this mixture of Vlog and documentary mix style.

I felt this peace watching this ! I think if u got used to waking up early it would be even better . I loved this ❤

“The sun’s in Escondido” had me dead. I am from Ramona! Born and raised in SD! My family is in Carlsbad now.

Love the video!!! Beautiful aerial shot!!!

love this vid, good vibes and hope you get some sunny days soon!

I love seeing you guys romanticise your lives 😍

The concept, the editing, the format... this is definitely one of your best videos ever. Congratulations to your whole team. I very much hope you will continue to make content like this. I also think that limiting the "cast" to two people has helped with keeping a cohesive flow compared to some of your previous ones. 10/10!!

As someone that lives in a landlocked state and doesn’t have a pool, I really need to find a way to incorporate this concept into my daily life… 🥺 I’m obsessed with the idea, though!!

I loved this! While it's great going at sunrise, I think you could still go at like 7 and still get the same benefits and them not be as tired! I love morning swims :)

I'm an East Coast girlie and I've lived by the ocean for the past decade. My husband and I just bought a house about an hour away from the water and I am really going to miss the accessibility of having the ocean so close. There it really is something truly restorative about the ocean, whether it is a sunrise swim or just going to see the water.

LOVED this 💛

Loved the drone shots

california beaches are no joke in the morning, even in the pits of summer. it's like the only thing i envy of florida

I loved this video. SO gorgeous and lovely. to watch.(also sierra's swimsuit on the last day is superb! )

I live in the middle of the US, so no sunrise swim for me! I did enjoy this video, Sierra and Kenzie have a good bond and it shows when they are doing videos just the two of them (and guest appearance from Jayden :) )

Thank you for being honest. My sister lives in Escondido. I was all worried about the Marine layer, which mostly affects sunsets. But yes also sunrises. It’s all greyed out in SD in the mornings. So it’s not about color it’s about the beach breeze in my opinion! ❤️ love SD so much.

I loveeed this video ❤

The suns in Escondido. 🤣

This video made me so happy! ❤️ I live in a shampoo but it made me want to start my morning canoeing in the water.

Loved this video! Makes me wish I lived on the coast… I guess I’ll have to settle for my morning shower 😅

This looked so fun!! I wish I lived near a beach 😭

Sierra you have a wonderful garden!!

Saw this on ig!! Excited to see the video :)

Day one, 4:42am… phone almost dead 😂 good start

So jealous of this! I’m not sure anyone could live further away from the ocean than I do lol. I hope to see it someday!

girlll how did your hair survive after this? salt water + washing it everyday ? my hair could never 😭

The talk about sharks being misunderstood and all was just golden!

I miss the beach so much but alas I live in an inland state. 😢 I would love a video on your most reached for swim suits that have actually held up and made you feel most confident. ❤

Aww this was so lovely to watch! My partner’s mum lives right across from the ocean, but she’s about 4hrs south from us. Next time we’re down there I’m going for a sunrise swim! 🌅

Love this ❤

I’d definitely keep going when you get those rare clear mornings!

So early ❤ lol I should try this I live 10 mins from the beach and haven’t gone once all summer.

15:55 the difference of mood in these clips is hilarious😭

the shark speech 10/10!!!

5:22 I love that sierra is just high on the vibes

ahhhhh here EXTREMELY EARLY!!!

Kenzie wearing the Oregon sweatshirt 😍😍😍

Chicago has a Friday Morning Swim Club that goes out every week (over the summers) to do a lake swim in the morning! I feel like once a week on a Friday is a good way to enjoy the magic without as much sleepiness lol

This combines the two things I hate the most - waking up early and bathing in the ocean. However, I can see why this is appealing to some people

I’ve done this once, and bc I live in tx the sunrise on the beach was so beautiful 🥹

Those red honchos have me itching to order to order because they come in my plus size!!

Water is so healing!

Feeling motivated to do this at my complex pool lol but it’s not the same 🤣🤣

I live in the same area as some of these tiktokers you referenced I’ve even seen some of them irl filming and if it makes you feel any better you’re not missing out😭 💕heat index has been over 110 lately, it’s overcrowded with impossible to find parking, and don’t get me wrong it CAN be nice and refreshing. but it’s only really worth it if you live in the more rich areas that are right by the beach and don’t require you to drive over an hour to get to the instagram spots early in the morning🙁

This makes me really miss living in the San Diego area and just being able to drive to the beach for a sunrise and especially the sunsets.

omg i’ve never heard someone else talk about travel anxiety & waking up so early LOL i feel that 1000%

My husband gets up at 3 am 6 days a week and we are always in bed by 8:30 at night. It is hard to do anything after work anymore.

sharks are my favorite animal alongside cats

This was a great video. Your so fortunate to leave at the beach
